Stir the sautéed mushrooms into the custard mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Fill the Ramekins:
Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F).
Divide the mixture evenly among 4-6 ramekins, filling them about three-quarters full.
Bake in a Water Bath:
Place the ramekins in a baking dish and fill the dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the custards are just set but still slightly wobbly in the center.
Chill:
Carefully remove the ramekins from the water bath and allow them to cool to room temperature before refrigerating for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Caramelize the Topping:
When ready to serve, sprinkle a thin layer of granulated sugar evenly over the top of each custard. Use a kitchen torch to melt and caramelize the sugar until it forms a hard, golden crust. If you don’t have a torch, you can place them under a broiler for a few minutes—keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
✨ Presentation Tips:
Serving Style: Serve the crème brûlées directly in their ramekins on a beautiful serving platter or a wooden board.
Garnish: For an added touch, garnish with a sprig of fresh herbs like thyme or chives that complements the earthy flavors of the mushrooms.
Accompaniment: Pair with a light salad or crusty bread to balance the richness of the custard.
